Answer:
Florida has the only climate that could grow limes.
Explanation:
Due to its close proximity to the north pole, average temperature in united States regions tend to be too cold for limes to grow.
Florida is the exception because it located on the southern part and far away from the north pole. This make the climate in Florida is typically warm and suitable for limes production.
After the decline of the industry, Florida no longer regarded as the largest lime producer in the world. This make countries such as India and Brazil who has close proximity to the equator and warm climate able to became the world's largest lime producer.
